Roman ruins in Cold Knap, Barry
The following text is based on information on the Vale of Glamorgan Council website.
These are the footings of a substantial Roman building constructed of local limestone and originally roofed with ceramic tiles, on a point overlooking the Bristol Channel, now incongruously set among modern seaside development. Up to 19 rooms surrounded a central courtyard. It is unknown whether the building was of more than one storey. An external veranda ran the length of the SW side.
Construction began towards the end of the third century (AD) but seems not to have been completed. This and other evidence for Roman activity suggests that the building may have been intended as a storehouse or an official guesthouse, as part of maritime links between what are now South Wales and South West England. It is thought that the building, if it was ever completed, was in use only for a short time before being stripped and demolished.
